Speaking to iFL TV, the Matchroom boss said: “We have sent a list of all the things that must be done if you want to change the contract. “An increased payment to cover the tax deficit change of taking a fight from the UK to America. “So in layman’s terms, by staging the fight in America, Anthony Joshua receives less money than he would do if the fight was in the UK where he was contractually agreed. “We are being asked to change a contract we signed. We’ve done nothing wrong. “We signed a contract to fight Anthony Joshua in the UK. We expect that to happen.” 1 comment1
